The need to Wear Hijab as mentioned in the Holy Quran



You might have seen a lot of Muslim women and girls covering their head with a head scarf as a symbol of their religion. Have you wondered why not all Muslim women do so? Or why some cover with modesty while some do so in regards to match the fashion trends? The simple answer to all such assumptions and speculations is to read about what the Quran has to say about the head scarf popularly known as the ‘hijab’.

This blog enlists some Quranic verses that represent the need to wear hijab. Keep reading:

  • As mentioned in the surah number 24, verse 30, wherein Allah commands the Prophet ﷺ as follows:

‘Tell the believing men to lower their gaze and be modest. That is purer for them. Lo! Allah is aware of what they do’

While a lot of people are under the notion that hijab is mandatory obligation only for Muslim women but this is not so! As Allah Himself has commanded the men to be modest by lowering their gaze. Further the Muslim men are commanded not to lustfully look at women except their wife(s). In order to achieve this they must lower their gaze and follow ‘hijab’ of the eyes.

  • When you read the Holy Quran in English then you will find in the next verse of the same surah wherein Allah commands the Prophet ﷺ to address the women:

‘And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and be modest, and to display of their adornment only that is apparent, and to draw their veils over their bosoms, and not to reveal their adornment save to their own husbands or fathers or husband’s fathers, or their sons or their husband’s sons or sisters’ sons or their women, or their slaves, or male attendants who lack vigor, or children who know naught of women’s nakedness….’

This verse not only describes the true meaning of hijab but also underlines the fact that women must follow hijab for the eyes as well as a modest dress code.

When you behold the Holy Quran and try to understand and comprehend the verses then you will get carried away by vast clarity that s sure to amaze you. In case you cannot find or book a sessions with a learned Quran teacher then you can easily make the use of various online sites to learn the Quran under the capable guidance of learned scholars.

First of all, it is important to know that Muharram is the first month of the Islamic year. It is a sacred month for several reasons, and people often keep fasts to pay respect to the martyrdom of many Islamic leaders in the battle of Karbala.  The most pious and beloved grandson of our Prophet ﷺ and his loyal companions were held up for ten days without food and water. Allah (SWT) mentions in the Holy Quran, surah 9, verse 36: ‘ ..Four of them are sacred: that is the right religion. So wrong not yourselves in them.... ’ It is Allah (SWT) who controls our hearts and emotions. It is clearly mentioned in the Holy Quran in English in the surah An Najm , verse 43: ‘ And that He it is who maketh laugh, and maketh weep. ’ Thus, we come to know that weeping within the limits of the Shariah is permissible and acceptable. If you ponder upon the English translated Quran , you will learn how excessive weeping leads to white eyes and eventually blinding! It is mentioned in Surah Yousuf , v
